answer choices on the second screenshot Two trucks travel at constant velocities until they collide. The truck on the right has a mass of 1000 kg and a speed of 3 m/s, and the moving van on the left has a mass of 8000 kg and a speed of 4 m/s. Three physics students are discussing the moment the trucks collide, and each makes a claim about the forces on each truck.- **Student 1**: I think that the truck will get hit harder than the moving van. Since the moving van has a bigger mass, the truck will also have a higher acceleration. - **Student 2**: The moving van will feel a greater force than the smaller truck. Since the moving van was moving faster originally, it will have a higher acceleration. - **Student 3**: Both the truck and the moving van will be hit with the same force. Since the truck has a smaller mass, it will experience a larger acceleration.**Question**: Which of the following identifies a mistake in one of the students’ claims and explains why it is incorrect?**Diagram Explanation**: The diagram shows a larger moving van on the left moving towards a smaller truck on the right. Both vehicles are on a straight path toward each other, indicating a potential collision scenario.**Analysis**: - According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, when two objects collide, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other. Thus, Student 3 correctly identifies that the forces on the truck and the moving van will be equal in magnitude. - Student 1 incorrectly claims that the truck will get hit harder and also confuses the relationship between mass and acceleration. - Student 2 incorrectly asserts that the moving van will feel a greater force due to its higher speed, confusing speed with the experienced force, which is actually equal for both vehicles. The mistake lies in Student 1 and Student 2’s understanding of the forces involved. **Question:**Which of the following identifies a mistake in one of the students’ claims and explains why it is incorrect?**Options:**1) Student 1 is incorrect because a larger mass will always have a smaller acceleration.2) Student 2 is incorrect because both trucks will experience the same amount of force.3) Student 3 is incorrect because Newton’s third law tells us that both trucks must experience equal force and equal acceleration.4) All of the students are incorrect because collisions have to do with momentum, not forces or acceleration.**Explanation:**The correct answer is option 3, highlighted in blue. It states that student 3 is incorrect because Newton’s third law tells us that both trucks must experience equal force and equal acceleration. The explanation implies a misunderstanding related to the application of Newton's third law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. However, the explanation provided in option 3 incorrectly interprets this law concerning acceleration, which depends on both force and mass according to Newton's second law.

According to conservation of momentum Momentum before collision = momentum after collision
